Case Study: FDM Group achieves a more resilient, proactive cybersecurity posture with Synack

FDM Group Reinforces Sophisticated Cybersecurity Posture with Trusted Synack Testing

FDM Group, a London-based global leader in recruiting, training and deploying IT and business professionals, needed deeper, actionable intelligence after multiple pentests produced limited mitigation guidance. To harden web apps, hosts, cloud assets and APIs, FDM turned to Synack’s human-powered penetration testing—engaging the Synack Red Team (SRT) and the Synack Platform—to provide an adversarial perspective and more robust security validation.

Synack delivered a scalable, fast testing program backed by a vetted community (about 1,500 researchers across 90 countries with a ~6% acceptance rate) and the ability to spin up hundreds of experts quickly. Synack’s tests produced more actionable findings, recorded exploit walkthroughs and in-depth diagrams for developers, and used the Attacker Resistance Score to track time-to-remediation and remediation effectiveness—giving FDM greater confidence, faster remediation cycles and measurable improvements in their security posture.
